ProposalDescription: 

Mulilo De Aar PV EA Validity Extension, near De Aar in the Northern Cape

Expanded_Motivation: 

The very comprehensive Statement Letter concluded as follows: Conclusion Based on the above review the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. The baseline environment for archaeology and palaeontology has not changed since 2012; 2. The baseline environment for the cultural landscape is of lesser quality than it was in 2012; 3. The impact assessment ratings provided in 2012 remain valid today; 4. Some mitigation measures have been complied with (i.e. areas to be avoided have been avoided through layout design), while others remain applicable and have been included in the project EMPr; 5. No new mitigation measures are required; and 6. The existing MTHS project layout as approved is sensitive to heritage resources in that all known significant heritage sites have been avoided. The layout is therefore still appropriate in heritage terms. Reasoned opinion Based on the reviews of individual and cumulative impacts above, it is the opinion of the heritage specialist that the proposed De Aar PV facility should be allowed to proceed and that the amended EA should be issued. Recommendations The heritage environment has not changed significantly since 2012; therefore, there is no objection to the extension of the validity of the Environmental Authorisation. Given that previous conditions have either been complied with or included in the EMPr, no new conditions are required.
